I love it. I know I rate everything high that I really enjoy but thats just bourbon for me. You have to screw up to get a low score from me. That said this might be the best OF product I've tried. The best way I could describe it is its like drinking a light bright whiskey and dark heavy bourbon all at the same time. It is a little punchy but punchy is what reminds us were alive. Don't pay much over retail for this but if its under 100 get yourself 1. If its 70 get 2 or 3

@BillSlone07 if I’m ever that way I’ll take you up in it! I found a Kroger OFSB that’s a Stag Jr contender but I’ve heard others are a bust. If 117 can come near in any way that’s still saying something.
@Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington. I do need to amend my previous statement. Right after I responded to your reply I went inside from just having pulled in from work and my wife surprised me with a trip to Opa ( one of the best albeit tiniest bourbon bars in the country "Delaware Ohio") Thursdays being 2$ off private barrel selections night I went with their OFBS which they have dubbed "Barrel Fucking Baskins" I have to say holy freaking shit was it amazing by far the absolute best OF product I have ever tasted in my life. it was like a stack of banana pancakes with maple syrup. Even my wife picked up on those notes and she isn't even a bourbon drinker. so if you ever find yourself around Columbus I'll take you to Opa because you have to try it.
@BillSlone07 absolutely special, I love what she’s done with OF
its relative but from my first experience with the Angel's share is that its better than both. I've had my fair share of 1920 but only had 2 of the OF BS's although I'm doing a tasting coming up with about 6 different picks so things could change. All of this also doesn't include the price tag variable for 60 bucks 1920 is hard to beat so is this twice as good as the 1920 probably not be its still special nonetheless.
How does it stack up against 1920 or one of their barrel proof offerings?
this is no April fools day joke
